"Reach Inside" lyrics

We were born after the last great war
Came around after some big regrets
No way to download the brutal scars
Try to tell a newborn baby don't forget

We saw the last witness dying
We made a movie of her life
It had us laughing and crying
But it didn't reach inside

Here we are among the tents of war
Blustering the escalating talk
Hear the call to put down insurrection
Men of peace are pushed down on the walk

We see the last witness standing
We made a movie of his life
It was okay a bit demanding
But it didn't reach inside

Every war's a civil war
If all men are brothers
And terror has no reasoner
When everyman's an other
Where's the blood meridian
Where's the apex of war
By the time we feel our violence
We have gone too far
We have gone too far

Gather round your cross of execution
Pass the peace and pass the bread
What do you remember when you take the cup
What do you forget

We see the last witness dying
We made a movie
It had us laughing and crying
But it couldn't reach inside
